How to Buy the Right Apartment Building, Right with Charles Seaman
·OnlineOnline[NOTE: RSVPing here does NOT get you a link: you'll need to register at our website, HERE, to do that.]
An apartment building can look like a great
deal right up until you dig into the numbers.The rents look promising. The seller says there's room to raise them.
The price seems reasonable. The operating costs are relatively low.
But what will the building actually cost to operate? What happens if the income doesn't grow as quickly as you hoped? And how do you decide what you can afford to pay?
If you’re a new apartment buyer who wants to be a successful apartment buyer, the skill that matters most is knowing how to evaluate the investment before you buy it.
Join Charles Seaman—he’s a partner in 422 units, so he knows how to do this!—for a hands-on day devoted mostly to answering the question*, “What should I pay for this apartment building?”*
He'll walk you through the process step by step, so you can look at an apartment opportunity and make a more informed decision about whether to pursue it, what questions to ask, and where the risks may be hiding.
You'll learn how to:
- Find apartment opportunities worth taking a closer look at.
- Work through an apartment investment step by step instead of relying on the asking price, the seller's projections, or a gut feeling.
- Examine the income, expenses, and assumptions that determine whether the deal makes sense.
- Make an offer that lets you do the OTHER due diligence and have the other contingencies you’ll want, even after the offer is accepted.
- Understand the people you need on your team to investigate and complete an apartment purchase.
- Put together a capital stack: the combination of financing and investor money that can make a larger purchase possible.
If apartments are on your radar, this workshop will give you a practical way to start answering the question that counts: Is this the right building to buy?

Beyond the 1031: What to Do When It's Time to Move Into Other Investments
·OnlineOnline[NOTE: RSVPing here does NOT get you a link: you'll need to register at our website, HERE, to do that.]
If you’re a more seasoned investor, you may be facing this problem:
You've built equity in your real estate. Now you'd like to put some of it into something that doesn't require owning and operating another building.But selling can mean a substantial capital gains tax bill…
…and “Do a 1031 exchange” isn't much of an answer if you're trying to move OUT of directly owned real estate.
On Saturday, October 24th, Todd VanMeter will explain the Deferred Income Trust strategy he works with, which uses an irrevocable trust and an installment sale to pursue tax deferral while creating a path into other investments.
You'll learn how the transaction fits together, where the proceeds go, how payments to the seller work, what control you give up, and what to review with your attorney and CPA before considering it.
You'll also explore how it compares with other exit strategies, and examples involving properties, portfolios, businesses, and partnership interests.
This is for active and experienced investors who are thinking about what comes NEXT for the equity they've built—and want to understand the details before making that decision.
Saturday, October 24th, 9 a.m.–2 p.m. Eastern Time, online.
$47 for members/$97 for nonmembers through Thursday, October 22nd; $67/$127 after.
The workshop will be recorded and all registrants will receive the recording, so register even if you can’t attend live.
100% satisfaction guaranteed or your money back.
